We need to be open to creating family at every turn, naming
it for what it is, even, perhaps especially, when it includes
imperfection. For when we are claimed as
family at our worst, we know true love, accountability and hope. Far stronger the bond which calls us to hold
one of our family when they have fallen away from their best self. Far more courageous the hand held out to say ‘no
– that’s not okay, come and sit with me for a bit’ than the one that only
reaches out to skip along together in joy. And even more courageous to be the hand and heart that allows itself to be taken. Choosing to connect with others in the family human at every turn is our
certain pathway forward to a better tomorrow.
